Randy Blythe: “I Will Not be Thinking About Lamb of God for a Good Long While”

Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe has posted the below photo on Instagram…

…along with this text:

“And so another album cycle comes to an end. This has been a very eventful, at times VERY STRESSFUL, album cycle, & it’s been about three years since we started on this one in our practice space- I need a break. Tomorrow is a 19 hour flight back to the USA, & then another one home to RVA, & except for two festival shows in 2014, I will not be thinking about lamb of god, touring, playing heavy metal, writing new lamb of god material- NONE OF THAT STUFF- AT ALL- for a good long while.

“Time to do other things for a bit, & let my brain regroup, & be a somewhat normal human being. This has been a pretty wild ride though, & to end it in AFRICA of all places still amazes the crap outta me. So thanks Johannesburg for an awesome end to the Resolution tour cycle, & to all you other bands, hear this: the game has been stepped up, & the ante has risen.

“You are not a REAL G until you come to South Africa & your fans throw one of THESE to you on stage- a warthog skull. Takes the cake for the strangest thing throw at me on stage ever, & I’ve had some weird shit thrown at me- I named him Jeff. Jeff, the South African warthog. Top that, y’all. Don’t front like your ballin’ if you ain’t rockin’ that wart hog shizzy.

“I figured I’d finish up the cycle with a nice self-portrait. Me & Jeff are outty. Peace, & one love. – Randy”

Well, if anyone deserves a vacation, I think it’s Randy fucking Blythe, don’t you? And besides, with a new documentary about his arrest and trail coming out and his memoirs tentatively scheduled for release this spring, it’s not like 2014 is gonna have any shortage of Randy Blythe. Let the dude recharge his batteries. When he comes back to the table, I’m sure he’ll destroy[via The PRP]
